Week 8 - here I go!

After my problem completing Week 7 Run 3 last Friday, I had a day’s rest and I tried again. I slowed down the pace and completed the run with no problems.

Just been out for Week 8 Run 1. I did the 28 minutes and I kind of enjoyed it 😳

Thanks so much for all the support on here. It makes such a difference.

Great job. Dropping the pace is always the best way to approach a longer run... and it leaves that pace in the legs for when you really want to use it. Have a fab run 2

Thank you so much! I want to return the favour and support others starting the programme once I've finished (and that's when I finish and not if - I'm determined).
